I have fallen off the face of the Earth! I am trying to get used to this new job and it has been a rough transition. I am really trying though!

I am also starting to cook a lot more fall recipes and less on the grill. It really is depressing for me. It gets dark SO early and I can’t enjoy my grill as much anymore! Plus, it’s been raining here like CRAZY!

This is one of those recipes that gives me a pick me up though. It is really simple and fast for an easy weeknight meal. And I am ALL about those easy weeknight meals right now.

We’re also kind of in a cooking rut, where we just make the same thing all the time. I haven’t been very adventurous lately, but I’m SO glad I tried this recipe! If you’re in a rut also, give this one a try. I promise it won’t disappoint!
